Sorrento. - The following is forwarded
by the committee for publication in THE
UNIvERsALIsT:
To Whom It May Concern:
In view of the fact that Rev. T. r.

close of his present work here, COM
mittee was appointed to draft suitable
resolutions relative to said service.
l. RESOLVED, That in Rev. 7. P. Abell's work
here, we feel that we have been raised to a
higher standard in the faith of Christian Uni
versalism.
2. ResoIped, That the best wishes of the
small band of the church here may attend
Father Abell wherever he may go.
3. ResoIued, That the above be sent to The

was to start subscription lists for preach

been started at Scranton, Fleetviile, Glib

thirty days of special meetings beside
these, during the same time were held by
Rev. Messrs. Nye, Adams, Eggleston and
Beardsley. About one hundred members
have been added to the churches in Cen
trail Pennsylvania as one OF the results Of
these revival meetings. Who now can
say that revival work is either impractical
BILE or impossible in the Universalist
church? Two ministers are needed at
once in this section for circuits. Men

are expected for $1,000 year!

form of May party by the children is
to be the fundamentally for raising the
funds. We could more heartily commend
the organization if it did not continue to
show its lack of Christian charity by a
refusal to allow Universalists to become
full members of their order. The local
organization in this city would no doubt
be willing to accord to our people here
all the rights and privileges of the or
ganization, but the regulations governing
the body at large, are disgraced by a rule
which prevents them extending such
Christian courtesy to Universalists. 1t is
the old Pharisaical cry: "Stand back, I
am more holy than thou"
The Kent Church.
1t now appears that although Rev. r.
B. Marsh resigned at Kent, yet we are
informed that there is talk of re engage
ment, but for what lens 9Th of time we have
not learned. As the Kent church is one
of the strongest and best in the State we
are always glad to make record of any
movement that gives promise of good re-
suits in organizing the members into
more earnest and active Christian endeav-
or. We hope our coming State Conven-
vention will find that there is greater en-
thusiasm and harmony in our churches
than heretofore. A half dozen churches
going and well sustained are
worth, in downright influence for good,
more than score of weaklings that live
at poor dying rate. The question is
will our next State Convention show
evidences of progress in church work. We
hope SO.

ASTON SANFORD AND ITS RECTOR
"REMINISCENCES OF THE REV. THOMAS
SCOTT, THE COMMENTATOR.

There are few pictures more ideally
English than that of country parsonage
where plain living and high thinking are
practiced by a venerable clergyman Of
the old school, whose parishioners are his
flock and he their shepherd, while his
home is the centre OF humble sanctity,
and the asylum of his distressed neigh
bors. Perhaps it is state of things that
hardly exists now we have learned aims
giving tends to encourage pauperism, and
modern education has destroyed the SIM
pie faith that regarded the vicar as the
ne plus ultra of wisdom and knowledge.
Yet it is very pleasant in these go-ahead
days TO take an occasional look backward
instead of forward, and refresh our fe-'
vered spirits in the atmosphere OF rural
peace and almost Arcadian simplicity.
One of the most primitive as we'll as
the loyeliest counties yet remaining in
England is Buekinghamshire, probably

from his heart of hearts; grasping his
faith with stronger hand as he listens to
John Newton, and clinging more closely
to the cross as be holds sweet converse
with Thomas Scott, the commentator,

This good and learned man, whose
" Bible" is to be found on the shelves OF
